The LocationsSHOW DOGS filmed at Pinewood Studio Wales and some interesting locations in and
around
Cardiff. It also filmed on location in Las Vegas.

WALES

The opening of the film sees Max spotting the smugglers arriving at NYC North
Cove Marina.
These scenes were shot at Alexandra Dock in Newport.

The Alexandra Dock was opened in 1875. It was further extended southwards with
the
addition of the South Dock, which in time assumed the original dock's name.

During construction of the South Dock in 1909, disaster struck when supporting
timbers in
an excavation trench collapsed and buried 46 workers. The rescuers included
12-year-old
paper boy Thomas 'Toya' Lewis who was small enough to crawl into the collapsed
trench.
Lewis worked for two hours with hammer and chisel in an attempt to free one of
those
trapped enabling him to be released the next day. Several hundred pounds was
later raised
through public subscription in gratitude for the boy's efforts, and he was sent
on an
engineering scholarship to Scotland. Lewis was awarded the Albert Medal for
Lifesaving by
King Edward VII. Today, you can find a Wetherspoons pub in the city center
called "The Tom
Toya Lewis," named in honor of the young hero.

Several scenes were filmed at The Depot, Construction House in Cardiff. Most
notable
amongst these was the Las Vegas warehouse pool party, the dilapidated magician's
warehouse, and the TV news studio.

From first opening the shutters in November 2015, DEPOT has since established
itself as
Cardiff's most exciting and original venue, and the home of the city's most
creative events.
Situated in a 24,000 sq ft former warehouse, DEPOT was the first to offer the
people of
Cardiff a permanent indoor street food venue. The weekly Street Food Social now
runs
every Saturday all year round. From launching a secret speakeasy pop-up, to
hosting
Wales's first independent beer festival, DEPOT continues to evolve, bringing new
and
original events to the city.

Scenes in the back stage grooming area of the dog show were filmed at Cardiff
City
Stadium.

The Cardiff City Stadium is a football stadium in the Leckwith area of Cardiff.
It is the home
of Cardiff City Football Club and the Wales national football team. Following
expansion in
2014; the stadium now officially holds 33,280 supporters. After the Millennium
Stadium, it
is the second largest stadium in Cardiff and in Wales.

The scenes at the NYPD police station where FBI Chief tells Frank he needs to go
undercover
as a contestant at the dog show were filmed at Cory Building in Cardiff.

Cory's Building is a 5 story grade II listed building situated at the corner of
Bute Place and
Bute Street. It was built in 1889 and it was built for Cory Brothers & Co. Ltd.

The brothers were John Cory (1828-1910) and Richard Cory (1830-1914). The
business
included ship's chandlery, brokerage and the sale and export of coal. The
company also
owned several collieries in Wales. The brothers also became the largest private
wagonowners
in the United Kingdom, with over 5,000 wagons.

Today, the building is seeking planning permission to become part of a large
commercial
development called Merchant Place and will be renamed Cory Chambers.

On their quest to rescue the panda, Frank follows the smugglers to an aircraft
hanger.
These scenes were filmed a million miles away from the warmth of Vegas at a
hanger
belonging to RAF St Athan, South Wales.

Pinewood Studio Wales served as the production headquarters and the location for
a
number of set builds including the main stage arena, dog pound, Las Vegas
rooftop party
and all of the green screen shots.

Pinewood Studio Wales was announced in February 2014, after negotiations between
Pinewood Group and the Welsh government resulted in an agreement for Pinewood to
rent
the site of the former Wentloog Environmental Centre in the suburb of St Mellons
in
northeast Cardiff. Construction began in the second half of 2014, and the studio
opened in
January 2015.

Since then it has housed several film and television productions including the
forth series of
the BBC drama "Sherlock" and the historical television series "The Bastard
Executioner."
